Yes, this is possible, but with special requirements. * The filesystem you use on the iSCSI mount must be cluster aware. * Your applications must also be cluster aware which use this filesystem. ** The Linux ext3 filesystem is NOT cluster aware. You will need to use OCFS2, or another clustering filesystem for it to be clusterable on linux. In this article, we will walk you through setting up the OCFS2 Clustering File System with RedHat 5 and our StorageLayer iSCSI system.
